theme song

the other day my calculus professor randomly asked the class,

"If you walk into a room, what song do you want playing as your theme song?"

my calculus professor is a witty older professor and at 8 o'clock in the morning that certainly got my attention.

so i've been thinking to myself, what is MY theme song?

this morning i had an epiphany when i woke up.

i figured out my song.

it was so simple, i don't know why i didn't think of it before.

Fireflies by Owl City

not only is it my absolute favorite song because it's owl city, but i love the song itself.

my imagination runs free whether i'm awake or dreaming. i think this is the perfect song for me =)

if you haven't seen the music video before, please watch and love it.

what would your theme song be?

well then

i have to admit, i haven't really felt motivated to blog in the last few weeks.

its not because i feel like blogging is getting old, but i've just been so involved with school and worrying about applications and actually having work and reading to do for classes.

so i want to do an epic post about my trips, yes trips, to Boston in the last week.

i'm not going to promise a specific day, but look out for it =)

i'm also going to try to do more posts (hopefully) for March.

maybe even a count down to my birthday (33 days), we'll see.

i've certainly been busy in the last few weeks. you are more than welcome to watch my tweets (@MEO18) to see what i'm doing/what i've been up to if you aren't already.

so just to let you know, i am here =)

i'm going to Olive Garden with 3 of my friends then we're going to see Valentine's Day.

and i should also say...

Dear non-single friends,

Happy Valentine's Day!

positive spin

this week started off at a bad note. i was in a slump.

tuesday turned out to be a great day,

until my dad told me there was a snafu, a little confusion, with my loan for school. it has hence been fixed, but it has still been erking me.

today was eh,

but it got a lot better after i called my parents and talked to my mom for a half hour on the phone (which is a long time seeing as i don't talk on the phone ever).

but since this blog is called OPTIMISTIC i'm being optimistic about this week.

it may have felt like it sucked, but it hasn't.

so i think it's time for a little catch up on what good is going on in Meghan's life.

- i've been given the chance to apply for a scholarship which i'm absolutely going to do. free money is good money my friends.

- i'm going to apply to be an orientation leader at school this summer. i think it would be an excellent experience and i would have a lot of fun!

- i went ice skating on saturday and didn't fall on my butt once =)

-i'm going to the Harry Potter exhibit at the Museum of Science in Boston in a couple weeks!! i've been wanting to go to it forever and finally we're going for my dad's birthday.

-although i am single, i'm celebrating S.A.D.* with my friends on the 14th. we're going out to dinner and then going to see Valentine's Day.

- i'm going to the movies with my friend chelsey on friday.

-there's only 2 more days until the weekend!

not everything is bad. there's always a positive spin on things. you just can't be blinded by the bad times, but keep your eyes open for the good.

=)

*ps S.A.D. - Singles Awareness Day aka Valentine's Day

pps please love the quote Vanessa posted today here.

ppss there's nothing else, i just wanted to put a postpost-scriptscript

socially off...

do you ever have those days where you just want to throw some pjs on and watch movies all day with one other person?

well i'm having one of those kind of days.

it's a weird mood.

i call it a "socially off" kind of day.

my problems are:

1) I would like to hang out with people or be around people.

2) when i am around people I want to be alone.

3) at the same time, I don't want to be around people

4) it's monday

it's a terrible problem that occurs every once in a while.

not all my mondays are like this.

i think my plan of attack for the rest of the day is to:

- go work my 2 hour shift tutoring

- put pjs on afterwards

- eat dinner in tonight

- work on my homework

- find something mindless to watch on tv tonight

- go to bed at a decent time

hopefully this will remedy the situation and my tuesday will turn out to be a better day.

actually i know it will, there's PC tomorrow and i like PC =)

do you ever have one of those socially off days?

and thank you for letting me rant. heart

an ode to math

i love math.

my major in college is math.

i work at math services as a math tutor.

i took two math classes my senior year in high school and i've taken 2 math classes a semester so far.

and i'm hoping to take more than 2 in the coming semesters.

so here is...

My Ode to Math

Oh my dear Math, how I love thee so.

You always make my day.

Whether I'm in Calculus or Linear Algebra,

Statistics or Transitions,

You always seem to fascinate me no matter the class.

I may not always understand what I'm trying to learn from you,

But I can figure you out.

I might have to wake up at 7am to go to 8am Calculus this semester.

You know what,

I don't mind.

I've had many different Professors that have taught me your ways.

I've learned about derivatives and integrals,

Sequences and Series.

I know a lot about limits too.

And did you know dear Math,

that I haven't even skimmed the surface?

I have so much more to learn from you

And I'm looking forward to it.

So thank you Math for giving me something I enjoy studying.

Now I must go.

I have Calculus homework I have to do.

i know some people have a hard time with math. i also know not everyone needs to know how to find the slope of a line. trust me, i know.

and who knows what i'm going to do with my degree when i graduate from college, but for now i'm going to work hard and dip my feet into the different math courses that are out there, i'll find something i want to do along the way.

since this week is the first full week of classes and i've been seeing a lot of math lately, i figured i would share. i hope you enjoyed my ode.

=)

vampire diaries recap: Bloodlines

i don't know if you my reader's know this, but i love Vampire Diaries.

i read the first books and let me say, for the record, the show is VERY loosely based on the books.

but i LOVE the show.

i was wicked happy when there was a new episode thursday night.

so i re-watched it yesterday afternoon and decided to write down a couple of things i thought about it.

it's spoilery. if you watched it or don't care what happened, please continue...

if you don't watch it, then oh well, sorry carry on...

i freaked out when i saw the car crash in the last episode. it was crazy and the mystery vamp creeped me out.

but then Damon to the rescue was very sweet and made him seem like he wasn't a monster, which is difficult for Damon.

that is until he kidnapped Elena and brought her to Georgia...

i really think the writers in this show need some new way of saying "I'm fine." i think every episode, at least one person says "I'm fine" when clearly they are not "fine."

i have to point out how happy i am that Jeremy hangs out with someone who isn't Vicky. i hated Vicky. plus i like sober Jeremy better than drunk/high Jeremy.

no #paulwesleyabs. that is all.

way to promote underage drinking CW. she drinks to let go for "5 minutes." cool.

i love how that new vamp guy says "If you want to be with someone forever, you have to live forever." oohh Elenaaa guess what you're going to have to choose some day *in sing-song voice*

[cough, foreshadow, cough]

i'm not asking Grams for help if 2012 comes around. she's "helping her own" first.

nice job in shaking hands with Bree's heart Damon. gross.

so Elena wanted the truth. welp, she certainly got it.

not only did Stefan tell her that he saved her from the car accident and couldn't get to her parents in time (which is so sad by the way), but then he goes and tells her she's adopted!! what?!

did not see that coming. i don't think that was in the books...

(ps hit play)

and finally, we got a flashback to Damon chomping on Alaric's girl. good stuff.

and what is with Alaric's ring?

my guess is he is not a vampire.

he lost his ring in the car and was looking for it when it was sunny outside so that ruled out him being a vamp for me, but what else could it be for though?

so Stefan loves Elena, Elena loves Stefan, and Damon still loves Katherine who Elena looks like.

i love this show.

=)

watch The Vampire Diaries-Thursdays, 8pm on the CW

the news for today

today it's raining/flurrying, but i'm okay with that.

it's also election day in Massachusetts for a new senator.

i fail and am registered in the town of college #1.

i wanted to go to the voting booth to vote and they were giving out free t-shirts and rides to the voting booth for the presidential election. it was worth it, but i forgot to reregister at home so i could get an absentee ballot. ugh, fail.

oh well, so is life.

in other news,

i start working at my new math tutoring job tomorrow morning at 8am.

it's also the first day of classes tomorrow.

i'm working 8-10 and have classes 10:10 to 1:35. it's going to be a hectic morning!

but i'm ready for it.

wish me luck
